YIDDI§H FOLKSONGS Sung by RUTH RUBIN This recording brings you eighteen Yiddish songs trom my personal repertoire, I learned some of the songs from my family, as a child rowing up in the eity of Montreal, Canada, Others, earned from relatives and friends, as well as from informants daring my field col~ Tections. In time, the songs became my very own,. to treasure and enjoy. ‘Of the 18 songs on the recording, sixteen are East European folksongs, one was authored in New York City, and the other by a Jewish teach- cr living in Western Canada in the eity of Winnipeg, Manitoba Although the songs originated from many parts of Bast Europe, and people sang them in ‘ifferent dialects, Ihave not adhered t0 any particular dialect or accent, Rather than immi- tate a speech pattern which would be unnatural for me, T simulated them, However, the song Hot Zikh Mir Di Zip Tsezipt," which [learned from my Bessarabian-born mother, is given in the Bessarabian dialect, Thope you will enjoy stening and learning the songs on this recording!ass « teres cate titty tee5.
